Lets give you an simple example. while "i am sleeping", keep your eyes on my bike. and Do keep your eyes open while "i am sleeping". While loop check the work started first then it execute, and do while start the task and continue until the condition stopped. suppose, While loops start the work after the instruction start. but the do while loops start the work and finish until the instructed process end.
